Training Human Resources with Technical Expertise

Training Human Resources with Technical Expertise

With an eye toward a future in which the market environment is projected to be dramatically different due to the mobility revolution, TOYO TIRE is focusing its efforts on training professionals who can transform difficulties and crises into opportunities for sustainable growth. Human resource training supports technological innovation, the backbone of our Group, and we will engage in education and training that focuses on basic knowledge education, exchanges with parties outside the company, and passing on technology.
For example, Toyo Tire Corporation aims to train human resources with “problem-solving skills and innovative capabilities” based on thinking oriented toward customer needs as well as “logical thinking and facilitation capabilities,” which are important abilities. This will be done through company-wide, grade-specific training. At each of our technical headquarters, we will conduct training for young employees so that they acquire technical expertise and promote annual human resource training to achieve each organization’s mission.
In 2020, we included an SDGs course in the training curriculum for engineers. Through group work, trainees are expected to recognize technological development's role in resolving various social issues relevant to our business. On the production side, we are focusing on the enhancement of quality control personnel's inspection skills and the development of operators' multi-tasking skills.
